URRGGHH....I'm trying to upload a picture for you...and I can't get it to load (I hope blogger is just malfunctioning right now..and my computer isn't messing with me again!)

So...we started our day off at a parent meeting for Chris. He's starting basketball and the team seems nice as does the coach! While I was at this meeting, Joe took Isaac to look at the glasses. We both like the rectangles...but, haven't agreed on a color yet...so, I'll let you know on Monday when I place my order! (so exciting!!) Then, we all went to Frozen Ropes where Eli had t-ball practice. It's an indoor baseball training facility...pretty cool. The kids had a blast! But...on the last throw to Eli..the ball hit him in the mouth..poor thing...he cried for about 10 minutes:((He didn't lose the other front tooth...so, it couldn't have been THAT hard!)

Then, we race home to devour lunch....and then we went with our sweetie pie neighbor car shopping. That's our favorite thing to do on weekends!! We just LOVE looking at cars! (looking...not buying!)

Eli was a champ and Isaac was an angel (as always...). He's so mellow...and just goes with the flow. He never whines or makes a peep. If I just keep the diapers clean and the feeding pump on schedule...he's SILENT!!! (so, when he does cry...something is definitely wrong!)

So....my picture is of him crashed on the floor in front of me....with his arms and legs spread-eagle....it's hilarious! The big boys were fighting tonight...and so they lost their video game SYSTEMS...yes...the Wii, Xbox 360, Playstation3...they are all in my room. (I think Joe did that to benefit himself...we'll see~!)

I told you that I turned the dining room into a playroom. Well, I did I tell you where I put the dining room table?? RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of the living room and new playroom...right in the walkway....there's just a BIG GLASS ROUND table just sitting at the bottom of the stairs. It's too heavy for me to take upstairs, I don't want to put it in the garage (I'm afraid that it will get broken....)so...there it sits. It amazes me how many times Joe will walk past it and not move it for me. I could care less how long it sits there...i'll just start putting my laundry on it if he doesn't move it soon!!!

That's about all I've got for today. ALL the boys in the house today seem to be a BIT TOO FEISTY...so, I'm throwing them all in bed early!

I am glad that you had such a great day...I am also happy about the rectangle glasses (sorry Mandy). What color do you think you are leaning towards? He will look so cute! The table story cracks me up...that is so the way my house works...Jon does not lift a finger unless I ask him a number of times and even then, he often forgets to do it...the joys of ADHD!

You have some feisty boys, huh? Did Joe sit in your room and play games all night? :) Dan would have!

I'm excited to see the pics! Hope you are all having a good day. xoxoxoo from cold Minnesota.

Oh! I almost forgot! I had a dream last night that I suddenly realized I was in Vegas for a work conference and I wondered WHY I hadn't called you yet?! I couldn't find my phone, so I wrote a frantic comment on Isaac's blog in hopes that you would get it. I was soooo worried that I would miss my opportunity to meet you.

I like the rectangles!! I can't wait to see what color the boy gets. He is such a cutie! Craig would have played video games all night long!! I am glad to hear that you had a mellow day - I love those! Thanks for the shout out for Grace....say lots of prayers.

Isaac

About Isaac

This is the blog following the adventures of Isaac, our third son. He was born (3/28/07) with Severe Tetralogy of Fallot, Pulmonary Atresia, VSD, Major Aortopulmonary Collaterals, Right Aortic Arch, DiGeorge Syndrome, and Cleft Soft Palate. We appreciate all of the support we have received from our friends and family and welcome you into our hearts and lives as we continue on this journey.

As of Nov. 2009, he's FINALLY sitting up and crawling!! He's such a quiet little man...no babbles yet...but, when he starts talking...I'm sure he'll never stop! He's solely g-tube fed, but has started 1-2 jars of baby food a day (it might take a while...but, he'll learn to LOVE food like his mom and dad!) His favorite thing is "Yo Gabba Gabba"...he's glued to that show ALL DAY, EVERYDAY

To date he's had....1 stomach surgery, 2 open heart surgeries, 6 heart caths, and 1 cleft palate repair (where they also did a little work to his tongue and released some webbing on the inside of his cheeks).

Chris

Chris....was born on September 9, 1994. He was the only child for 8 years before we had Eli (see a pattern here...I need a break between kiddos!). Chris has been home-schooled from 3rd grade-7th grade...and now he's back in public schools in the 10th grade...and I'm proud to say that he's on the A/B honor roll!!! He's currently trying out for the wrestling team and goes to Boy Scouts. He likes video games...and that's about it. Chris is ready to start driving a car, get a job, and go to college (I'm not sure why he wants to grow up so fast!). He has such ambition and loves to share...and THANK GOODNESS he doesn't have a girlfriend yet (my nerves couldn't take it)!!

Elias

Eli...was born on June 13, 2002. He was our baby for 5 years before we had Isaac....so, he's getting use to being the little brother of Chris and the big brother of Isaac. He loves Star Wars, Hilary Duff, and Thomas the Train (not necessarily in that order!). He's currently a 2nd grader and loving school (where he LOVES to read!). He has such a tender heart and feels compassion for everyone...but, also is a tattle-tale much of the time!
